Wiki advice:
If you have multiple people using a wiki all at the same time, be sure to set it up as "protected" so users must log in to make edits. This prevents users from accidentally overwriting each other's work! See the Wikispaces Help pages (link at top right) for detailed information. To read about member permissions, go to Help (small link at top right) > Manage Space > Members and Permissions.
To read how to merge edits by multiple people at the same time, go to Help (small link at top right) > Advanced Features > > Automatic Merging
Note: if you establish a staff wiki space for sharing, your staff members can use their SAME log-in for any wiki spaces they choose to establish for their classrooms. You will be helping them get started! ONE wikispace log-in works for ALL the wikispaces to which you belong.
